Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham match thread

[samprior]

Tough game. We huffed and puffed but look like a team who've had most of their major threats removed. To score now we are relying on a set piece or stringing together a great move (which with the players missing is much harder to do) and as Glasner said we look to be getting nervous as soon as we approach the final 3rd.

I'd start Uche in the next game. He has a different style of player but I think we need a bit of chaos factor added to our attack as it's very predictable ATM and although Clyne is obviously doing his best he offers no attacking threat.

It'd be nice to have a rwb in the door at midnight new years but I won't hold my breath.

Think we're in for a few more rough games until we get new additions/players returning.

COYP (...and come on you new signings!)

I’m very close to being a millionaire, I’m just missing about £998,800 from my bank account.

Your £1200 closer than me 🤔😳😁

Clyne offered nothing on the right going forward. Should have started Uche instead. Even Ayew, if he had stayed would have been a better choice than Clyne.

Clyne has never been a RWB, he was a very good RB and is still a good professional. The fact he offered nothing going forward was not his fault. Who should we have started there, Devenny? Possibly but not against Kudos. How about criticising the board for having not signed a Munoz deputy, if we don’t in early Jan it will be criminal

I don’t even think Clyne was the issue.

Having an ageing Clyne with Devenney in front of him in that formation was hardly promising.

That’d be concerning in the championship.

Agree all round there

Esse is nowhere near Eze league and never will be. Hes terrible and needs to be loaned out but as a club we tend to f*** loans up too!

You’ve literally not seen enough to make that judgement. None of us have. In Ollie we trust, of course. But the preceding post talked about magic - I was simply stating he is the most obvious deliverer of said magic.

Without 4 key players we go from top league contenders to bottom feeders. We needed more cover for certain positions and now we are paying the price.
Nketiah is a waste of space. Uche doesn't impress me and Mateta is totally out of form.

We will continue to lose until we have a greater attacking threat. Right now, we have nothing.

Two left footed players on the right doesn’t bode well when you are looking for out swinging crosses.
